It J a very simple affair, consisting only of a rectangular piece of metal on four legs, underneath which Is an alcohol lamp arranged so as to heat the metal evenly, This Is very useful, not only for beating plates, but for keeping hot tea and. coffee and all klpds of foods. Like all alcohol lamj s of recent make the burner can be regulated so that the metal stand may be heated to any degree desired. The heat Is not strong enough under any conditions, however, to cook with, but foods that are to be served very hot may be kept at the right temperature for an Indefinite time.

Metallic Tantalum. Metallic tantalum, which Is of such Interest at the present time, waa first prepared by Dr. Werne- - von Bolton by Submitting tantalum tetroxlde to an alternating electric current In a vacuum tubeVibe metal separating at the cathode. In a later process, a mixed salt of tantalum fluoride and potassium fluoride Is reduced by potassium, and the resulting mixture of pure metal and oxide is separated by fractional distillation. The metal la sc ductile that It can be drawn Into a wire of an Inch In diameter Mixed with unaltered oxide, It becomes harder than the diamond and tougher than the best steel, and at moderate cost It would be the Ideal battleship armor. As a lamp filament, tantalum uses only half as much current as car bon for the same light. A peculiarity of tantalum is that It sometimes as sumes the passive state, and a cell ol two electrodes of this metal, with sulphuric acid as electrolyte, will not al low an alternating current to- pass Substituting platinum for one elec trade, the current can pass in one dl rectlon only.

Concrete Railroad Ties. Millions of dollars are Invested In wooden railroad ties In this country The wood Is getting high and some thing cheaper must be found. Con crate offers a solution and many con crete ties are In use throughout tht Northwest, but they do not give th same resiliency an wood, and gooc devices for holding tbe rails firmly are lacking. A concrete tie designed by If. E. Terclval of Houston, Texas, Is n solid tie, no steel being exposed anywhere, and It has a special vari able cross section In order to keep It from becoming center bound, and thus liable to unequal settlement. The Inventor states that the shape mus be such as to distribute tbe ecentrk pressure, which he claims to have done In this tie by cutting away the center for 4 feet, making It Tbe ends are made oval, to give much wider bearing, for the distance of 2 feet at each end. The dimensions of the tie are 8 feet length. 9 4 Inch face and 9 Inches In depth. He also claims that the form of the tie makes It a and thus easy tc maintain. Under each rail Is a 2x9x14 Inch wood cushion, which ba been previously treated by wood pre server, and It la made in such shape as to readily give to the pressure s a train passes over. The rails are fast ened to the tie by a screw pin ten Inches long snd Inch In dlnmeter This spike passes through the woods cushion and screws down Into a sock at In the tie. filled with a composition of galvanized steel and babbitt metal Th ties are reinforced with corrugated Iron bars. r ,' Twelve Thousand Shots a Minute.

According to n western college boy who Is on his vacation, the college youth of this country have put heavy demands upon tbe simple tattoner. No longer will hearts and serpents and laurel wreaths do to decorate the arms of the learned young. The western college boys any they must have the names of their college fraternities In Greek letters done Into the skin of tlTelr arms. It Is a fortunate thing that some use has betn found for Greek.
